I recently watched that. Funny that the captain in the pilot episode is named Christopher Pike, before Kirk takes over in the next episode. And now a Christopher Pine is playing Kirk.
Good catch! :D
Respect to the phenomenal show that is Star Trek
Happy Birthday
Just kidding.
There is a Discovery thread somewhere lol...

I rather like Picard. Still haven't watched Discovery.
There was only one character, and he was just a guest role in both the pilot and “The Enemy Within”.

Aha, thanks. No wonder I didn t notice that male human. Glad they swapped the characters. The original ones weren t much charismatic.
Certainly makes sense in a united world.
The biggest myth that was debunked for me was the idea that NBC rejected Majel Barrett's character in "The Cage" because they couldn't accept a female first officer. That was a story Roddenberry kept telling at fan conventions. The truth was that the executives were pissed off to learn that she was one of Roddenberry's mistresses, feeling that kind of nepotism was unethical at the workplace, a sentiment especially shared by Lucille Ball. That's why she later showed up in a blonde wig and a new name credit, as that's how Roddenberry snuck her onto the set before they realized who she actually was.
I did read a bit of background on those two, yes. Just going in the order of the complete series DVD set :)
Enjoy! the original Star Trek series is my favourite of all time in TV, there are some amazing episodes in that show though I won't spoil anything.
That is pretty cool, the deepfake technology is moving fast.
There are rumours Mark Hamill sold his image rights to Disney so a CGI Luke can appear in later films when the technology is at the required level. I could see this happening with Indy, Star Trek or even Bond later down the road. In ten or twenty years most tentpole movies could be CGI and we would not know the difference.
I have them on Bluray I an due a rewatch, I tend to revisit them every few years or so. The writing certainly in the first two seasons is so good it resonates in any time period you rewatch it. Are you watching the remastered version with new special effects?
Nice! Yes it’s remastered; do you have a preference between the older and remastered ones?
I tend to watch the remastered versions they did such a good job making it look authentic. I occasionally watch the original versions just to compare. I have noticed now on UK TV or Netflix they show the remastered version.
I stumbled on this brief interview with Bruce Botnick (from 3 Months ago) whilst looking for something else.
Bruce mentions at 2:45 that a 4K restoration of Star Trek: The Motion Picture is in process also with Dolby Atmos, awesome not heard anything prior to this. This Masterpiece of a film will be elevated to an even greater level, can't wait.
I was reading through the YouTube comments one poster did mention the Directors Edition also being restored, how much truth is in that no idea. The additional visual effects were superb, though they would have to redo all the effects again at a much higher resolution. Hopefully some good money will be put into this restoration, the film deserves it.
As a matter of fact the producers that worked on the DE have been in talks with Paramount. Even better is that they still have the raw visual elements archived so they could be able to re-edit them back into the director's cut at a higher resolution.
A lot of the same people that worked on the DE have also worked on DEEP SPACE NINE and VOYAGER, that they archived their work on those show and have been able to upload samples of what their work would look like when upgraded to a higher resolution.
